Description Azeem Sajid 2025-11-12 07:59:28 UTC
Hi,

I have packaged zsv and its devel subpackage.
I am an upstream contributor working on its RPM packaging.
Now, I am submitting it for the review.

NOTE: This is my first package and I am seeking a sponsor.

Here are all the relevant details:

- Fedora Account System Username: iamazeem

- Spec URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liquidaty/zsv/8f082fc96f3803a1f0d8f05a8fd98575d0a36636/pkg/rpm/rpmbuild/SPECS/zsv.spec
- SRPM URL: https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv/raw/8f082fc96f3803a1f0d8f05a8fd98575d0a36636/pkg/rpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/zsv-1.1.0-1.fc44.src.rpm

- Upstream repo: https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv
- Description: zsv+lib is a fast CSV parser library and extensible command-line utility. It achieves high performance using SIMD operations, efficient memory use and other optimization techniques, and can also parse generic-delimited and fixed-width formats, as well as multi-row-span headers.

- Copr (repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iamazeem/zsv/)
  - Builds
    - https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iamazeem/zsv/build/9786400/
    - https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iamazeem/zsv/build/9793455/ (with `Provides` static lib change)

    - EPEL10:  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=138839603

Here are the notes on the specific choices made for packaging:

- The `configure` script is a custom one and does not support all the options of `%configure` macro.
  - `--exec-prefix` had to be used to route the final built files to a known directory.
  - Without `--exec-prefix`, the build directory is different for each target and compiler.
- `make build` builds the lib only but it installs it too.
- `make install` builds both exe and lib. It installs both as well to `--exec-prefix`.
- `make install` does not support DESTDIR or PREFIX where `--exec-prefix` helps to install in a known directory.
- Under `%install`, the manual steps had to be performed to install all the files to the correct buildroot directory structure.
- `ppc64le` arch has been excluded as it is not currently supported.

Added in the description as well. Thanks!

Fedora packages need to be built from source. Guildelines for C:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/C_and_C++/

If you are not a packager, you may also want to examine:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Package_Maintainers/

Comment 6 Fedora Review Service 2025-11-13 02:02:37 UTC
The ticket summary is not in the correct format.
Expected:

    Review Request: <main package name here> - <short summary here>

Found:

    zsv+lib: tabular data swiss-army knife CLI + world's fastest (simd) CSV parser

As a consequence, the package name cannot be parsed and submitted to
be automatically build. Please modify the ticket summary and trigger a
build by typing [fedora-review-service-build].

Comment 14 Ben Beasley 2025-11-18 07:54:03 UTC
We try to avoid packaging static libraries as much as possible, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#packaging-static-libraries.

From https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv/blob/d3c63d15abf7e4d881eff088c480e3fe6482a45e/configure#L42, it looks like you should be able to build a shared library by passing --enable-shared to the configure script. I haven’t checked if the resulting shared library would be properly versioned; if not, see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_downstream_so_name_versioning.

I'm working with the upstream to generate the versioned dynamic library instead.
I'll update and resubmit the new spec and SRPM once that becomes available.
